Peavey Nashville 1000 Amplifier

Mike Brown · Post by **Mike Brown** » 21 Aug 2001 6:17 am

With 300 watts of clean digital power, the Nashville 1000 is also an excellant amplifier for applications other than steel guitar. Although it was voiced for steel guitar, this amp works great in applications such as fiddle, accordian, piano, jazz and western swing guitar styles. Don't forget about the matching PX-300 powered extension enclosure available for use with any Peavey amplifier that has a PRE AMP OUTPUT jack.

If you have a chance to attend the upcoming St. Louis Steel Guitar Convention, check out Bobby Caldwell's excellant guitar playing. He is the first guitarist who told me that we should market this amp as a jazz guitar amp. Peavey Electronics has been the only major musical instrument manufacturer to sponsor this event for over 25 years.

You can check out the specifications of the Nashville 1000 here;

Please visit with me in St. Louis at the Peavey Demo Room and bring your instrument to try out the Nashville 1000. For the cleanest, most accurate reproduction, this is THE amplifier!

Hey Mike,
This probably is not going to happen but I want to make a suggestion anyway. I have 2 Nashville 400s and I love them but I wish they were seperate units, i.e. Preamp, Power Amp, Speaker box. I'd like to have this for weight split-up and to be able to have all the controls in a rack case beside me instead of on the Amps behind me.

Whatcha think? How about you other pickers?

If Peavey were to come out with this arrangement, even in the 1000 design, I'd buy it right away. Matter of fact, this is the only reason why I stayed with the 400s and don't already have a pair of 1000s.

Mike, I'm sure the 1000 would be a wonderful amp for other instruments. It is, however, the best single unit amp I have ever used for steel guitar. Bar none at ANY price. By the way, I hope Mr. Peavey knows and appreciates your first hand involvement with the steelers of the world. See you in St. Louie!

Mike, I have an ADA 100 MicroAmp in line with my Pro-fex II and love the sound I'm getting.
Here's my question I'm planning on building my own cabs to the Peavey specs to save some money. Which 12" speakers should I buy the 4 ohms or 8 ohms to attain the best output? My ADA amp stereo ouputs A&B say 4 ohms min. and the mono bridged says 8 ohms min. I tried out a pair a friend made with 8 ohms and I have plenty of power for my needs but am I better off with the 4 ohms? I plan on seeing you in St. Louis to further explain any of this. Until then.
Thanx,
Don

Hello Don,
From your description of the rated speaker load for the amp in question, I recommend that you purchase the Peavey 1203-4 ohm Black Widow speakers. These are the same speakers that we used in our Nashville 112E steel guitar speaker cabinets a few years ago.

We appreciate your support of Peavey products and I look forward to meeting with you in St. Louis. Please drop by the Peavey Demo room to check out some of our latest products.

Hello Mike, I was wondering how warm/hot the Nashville 1000 should/should not get during a nite of playing? I ran my hand back across the heat sink and it got my attention. Stuck a small fan back there just to be on the cool side of things. Art

Thanks Mike I was leaning towards those speakers but wanted the facts before I bought them.
See you in St. Louis.

Sorry to burst the bubble, but I have had serious problems with this amp.
I too like the amp....WHEN IT"S WORKING.
In the 9-10 months I've owned it, it has "blown up" twice. (happened again last night at a recording session)
Same thing both times...turn it on...loud noise then....dead. Power amp fried. Can I send it back for repair?

Mike Brown · Post by **Mike Brown** » 24 Aug 2001 6:00 am

Tony, we have a toll free number on our website at "www.peavey.com" and I have posted my '800' number on this site many times. If you have a problem with a Peavey product, don't hesitate to call me and I'll personally walk it through. I will even "road test" your amp on a local gig if you wish, which I have done with steel amps that we have repaired here. Here's my toll free number once again; 1-877-732-8391.

We certainly don't intend for one of our customers to experience a problem with one of our products, but if they do we will make every effort to rectify the situation as
quickly as possible.

I will leave for Scotty's Steel Convention next Wednesday, so let's get this problem taken care of. I want to restore your confidence in the Nashville 1000 amp as it "is" the finest steel amp available.

Thanks, Mike for your response and followup phone call. I'll ship the chassis out Monday for repair. Good service!

Mike, I am enjoying my 1000.... What effects Product of Peavey's would you recommend using with the 1000?

Chet, the only effects processor that we are manufacturing right now is the Deltafex, which features just about any effect desired for steel guitar applications. Check it out here;
http://www.peavey.com/processors/deltafex.html

I've used the Deltafex occasionally and it works fine for steel guitar applications.

If you have questions about it, you may either contact me here at Peavey or by e-mail. My phone number is 1-877-732-8391 or by e-mail at 1-877-732-8391. I'll be glad to assist you.

Gene Jones · Post by **Gene Jones** » 28 Aug 2001 2:04 pm

I own a mint Deltafex that I used occasionally with my Session 500 until I bought a Profex II. I feel sure that it would perform equally as well with the 1000.

I don't use it anymore, but I can get just as satisfactory effects with the Deltafex as the Profex, but the difference is......the Deltafex has no memory and has to be dialed-in each time you use it.

That's not a big problem though if you normally use only two or three settings like most players, and write down the settings that you use so you don't have to "hunt" to find them. www.genejones.com

Chet, I been pushing a Profex ll through the
1000 pretty much every weekend for the last two years and never had a problem.
I plug straight into the board through the
back connection and i'm very satisfied with the sound "out front". If you decide to get one just make sure it has the Newman settings. Also get a Ram card and keep the Newman settings on them for backup.
